Gold Coast Marathon 2026 | I'm ready to run/walk a sub 3.50 | Ep.15

#GoldCoastMarathon #MarathonTraining #RunWalkRun #BostonQualifier #MastersRunner #RunningOver60 #MarathonJourney #RoadToBoston #GoldCoast #MarathonRunner 0:00 Intro xxx IN THIS VIDE0 16 weeks of marathon training comes down to this. After months of early mornings, long runs, speed sessions, setbacks, travel, self-doubt and even a heavy fall just weeks ago, race day for the Gold Coast Marathon has finally arrived. In this episode I take you through the final week of taper as I prepare to attempt a sub 3:50 marathon using the run/walk method. The goal? To prove that even at almost 60 years of age, a smart and consistent approach can still produce strong marathon performances. This week includes a visit to the Gold Coast Marathon Expo, final race preparations, and a shakeout run at Varsity Lakes parkrun. That 5km run turned out to be the perfect confidence booster. The legs felt fresh, the pace felt comfortable, and for the first time I genuinely felt that my marathon goal was within reach. A sub 3:50 finish would not only be a personal achievement, but would also secure a Boston Marathon qualifying time for a 60-year-old runner. The training is done. The fitness is built. The plan is in place. Now all that's left is race day. Can the run/walk method deliver a sub 3:50 marathon? Episode 16 will reveal all. 🏃 Gold Coast Marathon 2026 🏃 Marathon Training Over 60 🏃 Run Walk Method Marathon Training 🏃 Road To Boston Qualifier If you enjoy following real-world marathon training, run/walk racing, masters running and marathon preparation, please consider subscribing and following the journey.
